I have had steam installed for ages.
I try to load steam, nothing.
I go to the steam folder, it says corrupted and unable to read data.
I uninstall steam still can not delete folder.
Reinstalling steam does not work.
What do.

Google how to remove/uninstall steam completely

I did and 90% of the results are " Open steam " or " open steam folder to remove steamapp folder "
I cant do any of those.

Steam shortcut does not load at all.
The steam folder which everything installed in says exactly word for word :
D:\Steam is not accessible.
The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable.

I can not move open or delete the steam folder.
Moving it or copying it to another directory does absolutely nothing, I get no response from my PC as if I never tried to do it.
Clicking on my shortcut does nothing, steam will not load.
Trying to reinstall steam I get this word for word error:
Error opening file for writing:
D:\Steam\Steam.exe
Click Retry to try again, or
Cancel to stop the installation.

After none of this has worked I went to the list of programs and uninstalled steam from my PC.
It says its uninstalled, it is not shown on the list of installed programs anymore yet I still get the same results.

Sounds like a bad HDD.

lol
